Members lookin Posted March 6, 2014 Members Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm for progress as much as the next guy but, unless this thing pings my electric skillet to have a crispy pound waiting for me when I'm out of the shower, why would I want this? Seems a little like culinary blue balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 My first thought was even a bit more dystopian. "...The scent-organ was playing a delightfully refreshing Herbal Capriccio -- rippling arpeggios of thyme and lavender, of rosemary, basil, myrtle, tarragon; a series of daring modulations through the spice keys into ambergris; and a slow return through sandalwood, camphor, cedar, and newmown hay (with occasional subtle touches of discord -- a whiff of kidney pudding, the faintest suspicion of pig's dung) back to the simple aromatics with which the piece began. The final blast of thyme died away; there was a round of applause..." Huxley, Brave New World lookin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 I was thinking more like this product was a prelude to a Soylent Green type culture where we incorporated smells from the past while consuming modern nothingness.
